IN PERSON: Baffled or frustrated by the ever-changing world of streaming television? This course, updated for 2024, provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of modern streaming technology, services and content. It will benefit both those who have already “cut the cord” of traditional cable TV as well as those considering that transition. Topics will include: basic concepts of over-the-air broadcasts, cable TV, on-demand streaming and live streaming; using streaming devices (e.g., Roku, Apple TV, smart TVs); and an overview of popular streaming services. Students will learn how to connect and use these devices and services, along with strategies and resources to find content and choose services. Participants are encouraged to log their viewing habits prior to (or during) the course to help them in planning. The goal is to empower students to create a personalized game plan for a well-informed, cost-effective and enjoyable streaming experience. | Lecture + Q&A.
